Careful not to install the LED strips too close to the edge or they’ll be visible from the front.The Govee control box mounted to the rear of the TV.Slack can be held down by included adhesive clamps. LED strips have to be looped at the corners on a 55-inch TV.Installation should be easier on larger TVs. It was all a bit of trial and error while making liberal use of the adhesive cable clamps included in the kit. For my 55-inch TV, I had to do plenty of twisting and cajoling of the LED strip to make sure the slack looped at the corners wasn’t visible from the front. Govee says the Immersion kit is suitable for TVs between 55 and 65 inches, with the single LED light strip divided into sections measuring 70cm for the sides and 120cm along the top and bottom. Fortunately, the strips peeled away easily enough, allowing me to reattach them closer to the center without needing to reheat the 3M tape with a hairdryer. It was only after turning on the lights that I realized the strips were too close to the left- and right-hand edges making them visible from the front.
I used masking tape to stage my installation before removing the back of the 3M tape to permanently attach the LEDs around the entire perimeter of the TV.Įven then, I still had to move the left and right LED sections. The Immersion light strip is a single strand of RGBIC LEDs that sit atop a layer of strong 3M adhesive.
Installing the Govee Immersion light kit on the back of my TV took about an hour, mostly because caution is advised when gluing over 12 feet of LED lights to a thin and expensive LG OLED TV.
